Sir Danvers Osborn, 3rd Baronet (17 November 1715 – 12 October 1753) was a British politician and colonial administrator who served as the governor of New York in 1753.

During the Jacobite rising of 1745, he raised and commanded troops in support of George II of Great Britain.

During the subsequent years, Osborn was a frequent guest at the Montagu-Dunk's manor of Horton (Northamptonshire).

When Charles Edward Stuart invaded Britain during the Jacobite rising of 1745 on behalf of the House of Stuart, Osborn raised troops to support the King George II and commanded the forces into battle within Colonel Bedford's regiment under the Duke of Cumberland.

Therein, many issues were attended by Osborn such as the supplies of the new settlers; the remuneration of the construction workers of the royal projects; and the regulation of the local trade, which was functioning then on Sundays despite the biblical precepts.

Back in England, in December, he discussed the issues of Halifax with the official functionaries of trade and plantation.

On 12 October 1753, Osborn's dead body was found in the garden of the house in which he was lodged, which belonged to a local councilman.
